Sound like either your belt is loose or (hopefully not) your alternator is on it's way out. The bearings sound like they are worn out.

Make sure the belt is installed and tensioned correctly. If it is I'd price an alternator soon.

tighten your alternator belt tensioner located next to the timing chain cover. Loosen the tensioner nut then turn the adjuster facing upwards clockwise.
